Hollyweird will pull the plug on Tulsa King now.

Sly being a conservative is not a revelation , like Tim Allen can get shows, cause audiences show up

I'm a massive Sly fan, this is the first time I've seen him dare to endorse Trump publicly.

reply

he doesn't really do endorsements, but mentioned him before

In an interview in 2016, when Trump had become the favorite to land the Republican party’s presidential nomination, Stallone told Variety, “I love Donald Trump. He’s a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean?… But I don’t know how that translates to,” a laugh, and then, “running the world.”


All the 80s action heros , Bruce, Arnold, and Sly were republicans , so we knew, in 80s republican wasn't being called a nazi yet.

reply

Chuck Norris, Clint Eastwood, Steven Seagal and Mel Gibson are republicans as well.

Arnold voted for Kamala but that's only because Trump insulted his ratings on the Apprentice and he took it personally as Arnold always has to win at everything and calling him a loser is the ultimate insult, but apart from that Arnold has always been a staunch right winger since he arrived in the states.

It'd be hypocritical if all these action guys were woke leftists considering the type of movies they make.

No surprise given Sly has always been a staunch right winger. Reagan even invited Sly to the white house to screen Rambo II and they were buddies. I know he backed McCain and probably Bush Jr as well.
